We play a lot of different systems and styles of play: we currently have three different tables of roleplayers going at once and one table that plays Heroclix: if you turn up with a favourite game then chances are one table is already playing it or is lining up a campaign to play in it.

Recently we have played Savage Worlds, GURPS, World of Darkness, AD&D, Call of Cthulhu, Heroclix and many more. To be honest, if you turn up with a game we've never played, we'll ask you to run a session of it and see if we like it. If we do like it we'll probably ask you to run a campaign of it!

Mark Turner, club secretary goes into more detail about his table (which is one of the four currently playing standard desktop roleplay)

We currently have a number of campaigns running that we rotate through on a reasonably regular basis. We use the GURPS system for most of these and many have been running for a few years. As a table we tend to favour more long term campaigns where character development can take place over time. However we do run a few one off games as the mood takes us. We currently have the following campaigns running
 -
A low fantasy campaign set in a medieval style world. The campaign is very much non-cinematic with a good deal of emphasis placed on character development and individual character plots which conflict on a number of levels with the main plot of the campaign. It has been running for over year and the currently players have been through four lengthy instalments
-
A more cinematic campaign with high points characters. The campaign is set in a much more diverse world where characters of many fantasy races are possible. The campaign has also been running for about a year with the current players having completed about 3 adventures.
-
A campaign based around the Cuthulu mythos which has been running for over 2 years and have recently reached a major breakpoint. Set in the 1920's the party have currently travelled the world in there current quest which has recently come to an end. The next instalments are being written at the moment
-
Finally we have a new campaign which has just been started by a new DM to the table. Using the Conspiracy X genre the players have been formed in to a cell from which to investigate alien and occult activity around the world.I think that's all for the moment.

If you want anything else let me know and if you want to get more info on the campaigns above the DMs are, in order, Me, Adrian, Tim and Ryan. Hopefully we can get the other tables to also provide some stuff like this.
